Marquette General HospitalA Duke LifePoint Hospital

Regional Medical Center for the U.P.Level ll Trauma Center

24 Bed ICU/CCU

We began our Forward Focus team with members from ICU/CCU, nursing administration, emergency dept., operating room, our CMO and Wendy, our UW OTD representative.

This created multidisciplinary “buy in.”

From there we established a “core” of donation experts.

BREED ENTHUSIASM!

Education, education, education! In-services Newsletter posted in all departments Orientees with all donor patients Constant donation chatter by FF team Role modeling by donor champions CMO support of PDSA and education of medical staff Education of senior administration

COMMUNITY AWARENESS

News articles , TV coverage = “The Rhonda effect”

Remembrance Ceremony Run 4 Life

Engage / “Badger” the Physicians

We used to be happy just to have them leave us alone and they were happy to do so!

Now with physician engagement our OTPD went from less than 2 up to 3.67.

WE are the “hub,” the “core,” the “engine” that makes organ donation successful.
